Welcome woodshaper. I would be interested in knowing how to turn using sandpaper. I want to get into pen turning, but I cann't afford the chisel yet.

I know I don't need pen chisels, but I don't have any chisels. I do have plenty of sandpaper...beeg wrote:You can turn pens with standard chisels.
Sand paper finish only works if the piece is allready round and close to the bushing size, the stars and stripes pen is already round so it was easy to sand to the bushings, most other pens use square blanks but there are round one that might work for you.navycop wrote:Welcome woodshaper.
